Abstract :
This paper analyzes the factors that affect the synchronization performance in using the precision time protocol (FTP). We first study the influence of jitter under the assumption of no frequency drifts. Then we study the influence of frequency drift in the absence of jitter. The analytic formulas provide a theoretical ground for the understanding of simulation results as well as guidelines for choosing both system and control parameters when applying FTP.
